I have learned to be reasonable with most things, but can't do it with cereal.

OH yeah, I am like this with pita chips and hummus... I can't even buy it anymore because I WILL eat the entire thing in one sitting, and thus a food that is actually relatively healthy and a good source of protein is now on my no-buy list. I have a few things like that... I don't even let myself think about buying them because I know how it will end up, when I come home STARVING after work and it's right there and so convenient.
I agree with others that carbs are often the worst for triggering binges... they just seem to have an addictive quality to them, even if they're not a sweet sugary food. Have you tried stocking up on fruit? I just bought that most amazing strawberries and raspberries, they taste like pure sugar, and I don't feel bad about munching away on them. It seems that the natural sugar has helped curb my cravings for chocolate and even for bread and chips.
Hang in there-- it's all a learning experience!
